I was by no means bragging. All I was trying to say with that comment was that the male Barbarian in Diablo III is one of the most badass characters I've ever played as, not that I'M badass for playing as him.

I think of him like Commander Shepard: Badass as **** , saving everyone by himself, but the Barbarian is an old man who dresses in armor that covers up maybe half of his body and is completely unmoved by any situation.

"Go kill that big demon that is the sum of all of the most evil things in existence. Not even the most powerful beings in existence can do it!"
"Consider it done."

Holy **** , am I the only one who has to constantly revive my companions in Mass Effect? (unless I have Garrus with me. Magnificent bastard)

Who insisted that the Council should investigate Saren, and when they didn't, did it against their orders?

Who was specifically chosen to be revived after dying so that he could lead a team that he managed to collect and help individually so that they would help him attack the base of a powerful army of aliens (and managed to have the whole team come out alive out of a "Suicide Mission")?

Who unified an entire galaxy of angry and scared species who cared only about saving their own planet; Who found the weapon that was the only thing able to destroy the indestructible foe they faced? Who went in, nearly dead, to activate said weapon and save the galaxy from otherwise sure destruction?

Shepard. Not Tali, not Jack, not Liara. Shepard.
Yes, Shepard had help, but without him/her, none of it could have happened.

wouldnt have been hard... all they had to do was not have ******** pay to tin auction house, stay away from ******** DRM, allow people to mod, and make the game that took them 10 ******* years have more than 10 hours of legitimate gameplay

Has anyone in here heard of Path of Exile? It's a game to be released (currently in beta) by a small studio of hack n slash RPGs. They're 150% against pay to play, pay to win, shops, etc. I got once in an open beta weekend and it's great. It has the biggest freaking talent tree i've ever seen in my years of gaming, and the atmosphere is dark and creepy. A lot of people say it'll be what D3 was supposed to be. It's gonna be released in a few weeks if I can remember and it's free to play.

I re-patched it a few days ago, takes some time :/
Anyway, the things they're going to add when the game releases look great: clans, capture the flag, a new class, trigger gems, shrines, ... The list goes on and on

Also Torchlight 2 is worth a try, only cost 20$ (or less when in promo), you can play offline, a lot of builds are possible, and the game is made by some ancients from Blizzard North (The Shaefer brothers). Also, Matt Uelmen's music. Don't expect for a Diablo, the atmosphere is not dark or creepy at all, but the game is made to be fun to play.
